I have been reviewing your site with interest for at least a year and I appreciate your efforts to stop the drug war. Your detailed descriptions of the impact of drug prohibition clearly supports your case. However, street methadone recently took the lives of my 29 year old nephew and 26 year old niece. Methadone a drug that can be had by prescription legally under controlled conditions ended their lives. As a young nursing assistant (at age 17) I witnessed the horrific death of a 17 year old boy on our pediatric unit from fulminating hepatitis related to IVDU one Christams Eve. A lover of mine lost his life at age 58 from cardiac myopathy from snorting cocaine. My mother took dexedrine for weight loss in the 1950s and damaged her thyroid gland. As an RN I have been watching alcoholics undergoing detoxification with some untoward results. The problem of addiction is so complicated I'm finding it difficult to believe that addiction problems can be solved. I realize your site is not about addiction; I pray that once you "stop the drug war " those involved in the drug war will direct their efforts towards stopping addictive behavior.

ok heres the deal....where will you all be in 100 years? including all of our government.....DEAD.....we are all gonna be dead and then think to yourself....why is he telling me that i cant pick a plant and smoke it in my own household.....WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE...ALL GOING TO DIE....including you little piggy....sooo how about taking life a shade less seriously and lets have fun and enjoy our lives instead of living in a blind little test tube and then all of a sudden we realize what we have missed by having our pompous heads up our asses.....i choose to smoke marijuana i am in no way addicted...i do not drink and i dont use other drugs....it is MY choice i reserve it for myself....come find me and arrest me....ill have a gram of weed maybe...NICE DAY ON THE JOB PAL...im sure that no one got robbed or murdered while u were eating your donut and putting me in cuffs for a trace amount of a plant...

I do agree totally. The War on Drugs wastes billions of our dollars let alone all of the prison costs. I just hope that you all realize how quickly the walls of freedom are closing in on us! Weed was considered a "strong and powerful narcotic that can cause death in small doses" by the government right before it was criminalized...Someone tell me where these guys went to school?

Ok enough on that i also want to speak on rights in general.

If i have the freedom of speech to say i SMOKE POT!
then shouldnt i have the right to smoke it?

*NEW: Our Consitution is ANCIENT!!! we have laws that worked for a small farming country
we have been adding laws to it like times will never change
WE ARE SO RESISTENT TO CHANGE WE ARE GOING TO BE A WHOLE IN NORTH AMERICA IN LESS THAN 80 YEARS!!!!!!

we cant even have the open mind to see that some laws need revising and some need to be exterminated
TAKE ACTION AND STOP THE TYRANNY!

our government is US...made up of us and our wills....then WHY ARE WE ALL COMPLAINING
